Asked?

• Student Engagement Survey

• Students are in your buildings every day
  experiencing the culture and environment of your
  school system. Is it possible they might have
  valuable insight on how to improve their
  educational experience? Have you asked them
  lately?
• Theres no doubt that staff, parents and the
  community have opinions about how youre doing,
  but student perspective shouldnt be overlooked.
  After all, they are the ones living your delivery
  system and experiencing it first-hand.
• Schools have an important role in building
  resilient youth. Throughout the last two decades,
  educators, researchers and politicians have
  focused on the fundamental purpose of education
  as teaching and learning. The recent research and
  evidence surrounding social and emotional
  learning (SEL) substantiates the value of not
  only focusing on students cognitive and academic
  skills but also their social and emotional
  development (Durlak et al, 2011).

• A student that is engaged in both their school
  work and school community experiences greater
  success both in and out of the classroom as well
  as upon graduation from high school.
  Understanding how a student spends their free
  time, their perceptions of the rigor and
  relevance of their school work, how they utilize
  various support systems and the planning they
  have done for life after high school is critical
  for a school system to best meet each students
  individual needs.
• School Perceptions has been supporting school
  districts in gathering culture and climate data
  for over a decade. The School Perceptions Student
  Engagement Survey offers schools a way to
  measure how students perceive their learning as
  well as examine the factors that impact student
  engagement.
• The Survey examines seven indicators of student
  engagement connectedness, drive, citizenship,
  preparation, social and emotional aptitude,
  wellness and academic and career planning. School
  Perceptions software allows a district to look
  at student engagement through the various lenses
  of your student population (e.g. ethnicity,
  gender, etc.).
